A member asked:

I have a thought disorder and am on seroquel xr 200mg and 60mg latdua how long will it take latuda (lurasidone) to kick in?

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

3 weeks: Latuda (lurasidone). Generally takes three weeks for its action to kick in. My experience so far however shows me that it's well worth the wait. Best wishes for a quick recovery and a happy new year.

Latuda (lurasidone): May take 3 to 4 weeks at an appropriate dose for you to see effects and possible 2 to 3 months to see full effects. REF: https://www.nami.org/Learn-More/Treatment/Mental-Health-Medications/Lurasidone
